Strains of Bacillus subtilis that were resistant to repression of pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthetic enzymes were selected by isolating spontaneous uracil-tolerant derivatives of a uracil-sensitive strain, which lacks arginine-repressible carbamyl phosphate synthetase. The relative content of all six enzymes of uridylic acid biosynthesis de novo in these strains was in a constant ratio over a 10-fold range of derepression, which indicates that synthesis of these enzymes is coordinately regulated.
